Beep, beep, beep…Smash! It’s 7 o’clock in the morning, and a new day of VOICE will begin. On July 16, 2008, I woke up at 7, smashed the alarm clock to let it stop ringing, then opened the curtains. it was a bright and beautiful morning and from the windows, I saw the boys coming back from PT. Then I picked out my clothes, changed in to them, washed my face…etc. And rushed to my group at 7:30. Our team read a chapter in John, and talked about the characters that Jesus showed.
After I ate breakfast, I listened to the Basic Seminar, and learned about the seven principles of life. That day, I learned about the principle of ownership. Before the lesson, I wanted to have control in my life, and I wanted to have a lot of rights to do stuff. But that lesson told me that I have to give everything to God and let Him be in control. And when I let Him be in control, I wouldn’t be angry when things didn’t go my way.
It was Christmas that day, so after lunch, English class (in which we talked about baseball because we will be going to a game on Saturday), and electives, we had our great Christmas dinner! But the best part was after dinner – ice skating!
I love to ice skate! The smooth, cold ice for us to leave our marks on it was so pretty. I got a pair of ice skates and hurriedly put them on so I could got on the ice as fast as I can. I love the feeling of skating across the ice, it really feels like flying! However, time flies fast when we’re having fun, so a moment later, time was up. As we went back, everyone was tired, but very happy. It was one of the most terrific days in VOICE.
